I'm kidding of course. But, even though I obviously and biased and love him and Duke, I just have never gotten the dislike for K. He's all class all the time and is a true model for all coaching really. He's tough but LOVES his players, has never had any violations in his 40 year career, has had more success than anyone in the history of the game save John Wooden (in a very different/incomparable era). His players have overwhelmingly performed well academically, many of his stars even graduating early (JWill/Boozer, etc.). He's a veteran and has represented our country extremely well in USA basketball as well, with an array of NBA players expressing how much they loved playing for him. Other coaches, his fiercest rivals, love the guy and look up to him. Ya, he's firey on the court I guess, like most coaches. But other than his success if you dislike Duke, I just never got what there is to hate.
